Record Breaking Year for Gannon Golden Knights Booster Club

The Boosters, founded in 1972, support Gannon University's 20
varsity teams.

"The student-athlete experience is central to everything we do,"
said Lisa Goddard McGuirk Gannon University athletic director. "Our
student-athletes not only achieved excellence in the realm of
competition this past year, but also achieved a 3.26 cumulative
grade-point average and completed over 6,000 hours of community
service."

Frank Kaleta, the club's president, said, "I just want to
emphasize how proud I am of the entire Gannon community in
achieving a record-setting year in support of Golden Knight
Athletics and our hard working coaches and student-athletes," he
said "This could not have been accomplished without the team
efforts of our coaches, student-athletes and alumni development
office."

McGuirk added, "The continued and overwhelming generosity from
our booster members best assist our coaches and our department in
supporting our student-athletes, as they strive for academic and
athletic excellence. We are truly appreciative for the support of
our 1,000+ booster club members - thank you."

News of the record year comes on the heels of other good news
for Gannon athletics. The University has four teams leading the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference in highest team grade-point
average.

This is the fourth time in six years that four Gannon squads
have been recognized for leadership in the classroom.
